The anguished cry of the rogue’s heart lasted only a moment when the mute girl began to lose control again, her emotions flooding her face. She gestured wildly with her hands, but her disfigured features could not convey her meaning at all, leaving the man utterly confused.
Qiao San, now in a good mood, decided to sit on a stone and play guessing games. He tried over a dozen times but failed each time. The rogue king’s stubborn refusal to admit defeat flared up, and he imitated the mute girl’s gestures. Suddenly, he concentrated, inspiration struck, and he exclaimed in astonishment, “You want to… write something? No way! Can you actually write?!”
The mute girl had no time to be angry at the rogue’s prejudice. It was rare for the two to finally understand each other, and she was so overjoyed she nearly bobbed her head off in agreement.
“Haha… writing! Why didn’t you say so earlier? That’s easy.”
Qiao San brought the extremely ugly girl back to Liumang Town, and the rogue’s holy ground immediately erupted into chaos.
“Wow, the boss has gone mad! He actually brought an ugly woman home!”
“Pfft! You guys don’t get it. The boss has special tastes. With so many beauties around, he wants to try what it’s like to be with an ugly girl. Hehehe…”
Thus, the glorious life of the rogue leader gained a stain. For once, he dared not retort and returned to the Qiao family mansion with the mute girl, his head bowed in embarrassment.
“Master Qiao, are you sick?” Twelve’s reaction was even more exaggerated than the rogues’ as she anxiously checked every part of the man’s body.
“Giggling… Husband, what trick are you up to now?” Ghost Ji didn’t believe for a moment that her man had suddenly changed his nature. Her ethereal form flickered, and she floated to Qiao San’s side, relentlessly pressing him for his true intentions.
“Sigh… I just wanted to be a good person for once. Isn’t that allowed?” Qiao San said the real reason, though even he himself didn’t believe it.
Among the three women, Qing Niang remained the most virtuous. After a brief moment of shock, the dignified young wife could already calmly face the mute girl’s crooked eyes outside her veil. “Third Young Master, please quickly ask this young lady to sit down. I’ll go brew her a cup of tea!”
“Dear sister, no need. Bring paper and brush first. I think she has something urgent!”
Qiao San, trying to prove his innocence, couldn’t resist adding unnecessarily at the end, “I don’t have any ulterior motives. Do I look like the kind of person who would?”
The laughter of the three women naturally brimmed with disbelief, and a joyful atmosphere filled the quiet Qiao family mansion, spreading to the mute girl’s heavy shadow. She even broke into a smile,可惜 she couldn’t make a sound.
Qing Niang personally brought the paper and brush, and then everyone gathered around the mute girl to see what she would write.
“Ahh!” The mute girl wrote the first sentence, and Qiao San couldn’t help but exclaim aloud, shattering the tranquility of Liumang Town in an instant.
—The Nümei is in danger! Rescue her quickly!
The brush tip moved across the rice paper, leaving behind neat and elegant handwriting that no one had expected, while the rage of the rogue king grew with every line.
It turned out that this girl was the adopted younger sister of the Nümei. The resentful Ghost King had already made accusations. Before the Ying Long couple could return to the Nine幽 Palace, they had already been imprisoned on charges of deceiving the emperor and were scheduled to be executed on the monster-slaying platform in ten days.
“Damn it!” A furious roar shook the heavens. The rogue Qiao San didn’t like this ending at all. His disheveled hair floated without wind, and his previously laughing eyes turned into a glare.
Soon, the Fox Queen was invited to the Qiao family mansion by Twelve, and everyone worked together to devise a clever plan.
“Twelve, go find the decree issued by the King of All Demons last month. I think it’s in the study… under the desk! Hehe… I need to go to the Nine幽 Palace to meet the King of All Demons.”
Ghost姬 stepped out of Qiao San’s embrace, her graceful and full figure standing tall as she resolutely said, “Husband, this matter started because of me. I must go.”
Although the beautiful ghost usually appeared as gentle as a lamb, her inner strength remained unshaken. Qiao San knew he couldn’t persuade her and, after a moment’s thought, nodded in agreement.
Twelve needed to manage the Ghost Forest and couldn’t accompany the Third Young Master, but the heart of the little fox girl was tightly tied to her lover. Her eyes sparkled, and she clung to her mother, begging and coaxing with sweet words until the Fox Queen finally sighed helplessly, “Alright, alright! I agree, okay?!”
Upon hearing this, Qiao San’s eyes lit up, and his uncontrollable gaze immediately fell on the Fox Queen’s perfect buttocks. The lecherous rogue truly was ever-changing. Just moments ago, he had been burning with anger, but now his heart was itching and his throat dry.
The mute girl, seeing that everyone seemed to have forgotten her, anxiously patted Qiao San’s shoulder and gestured repeatedly.
“Oh, you want to go too? Fine, you can come along!” This time, Qiao San actually guessed correctly, and his small progress made him beam with joy. If not for the lingering worry in his eyes, anyone would have thought he had forgotten all his troubles.
Only then did Qiao San suddenly remember a question. He asked somewhat awkwardly, “Hey, mute girl, what’s your name? We can’t keep calling you that forever, can we?”
The wolf brush gently swept across the paper, and a beautiful name appeared before their eyes.
Ye Nu, a woman who roams at night! Although the name sounded lovely, Qiao San and the other women couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. Instinctively, they glanced at Ye Nu’s grotesque face and sighed inwardly in unison.
Qiao San personally escorted the Fox Queen out of the house, his lecherous nature flaring up once more as he stared at her with burning eyes. “Mother-in-law, this time I’m counting on you to protect me. Hehe… Could you tell me a bit about the Nine幽 Palace so I can prepare in advance?”
“We’ll talk on the way. We leave at dawn tomorrow.”
The Fox Queen—suddenly cold after being warm—turned abruptly and left. The previous warmth vanished in an instant, leaving the rogue awkwardly hanging in discomfort.
Only after the Fox Queen had disappeared from sight did Qiao San finally tear his gaze away from her perfect backside. The colder and more aloof the Fox Queen became, the more passionately he stared. Shamelessly, he mentally caressed the body of his fox demon mother-in-law, indulging in self-delight as he muttered to himself, “Hehe… Progress! This time, at least, she spoke a few more words!”
Sigh… truly a rogue easily satisfied!
